Jacob Wilhelm Mechau’s 1793 etching, “Arco della Toretta o sia parte dell’acqua Claudia, agli Arci vicino a Tivoli”, depicts the ruins of the Aqua Claudia aqueduct near Tivoli, Italy. The etching showcases the aqueduct's towering structure, partially obscured by foliage, and the archway that leads to the aqueduct's ruins, with figures on a path leading towards the structure. Mechau captures the grandeur of the Roman engineering feat and its state of decay, highlighting the passage of time through the ruins' weathered appearance.
